oh fuck you and your star. take it. 

In Tactics Ogre your characters get three little heart icons. Each time they die and you fail to res them by the end of the battle, they lose one of those hearts. They are only permadead after all three hearts are gone, which would require the character to be dead and unres’d in three separate battles. A bit different…

Exactly. I almost feel my blood pressure rising in Barnes and Noble when I walk by the Fantasy section and see an entire unit of shelving dedicated to Martin and his unfinished series of progressively deteriorating quality. Yes, let’s continue to reward Martin with the lionshare of the genre shelf space instead of…

Yeah, but we hobbits get second breakfast. 

Am I the only one referring to “The Northman” as “The True Blood Prequel” in my head? 

Elder Scrolls VII: Azeroth

Elder Scrolls VI: Portal to Azeroth

So many good memories from playing this game. Halo 3 came out at the end of my college undergrad, when I had both a plethora of free time and the youthful energy to play until 3 or 4 a.m. every night. Became “xbox live friends” with people from random matches and ended up spending months playing team games with the…

I hadn’t thought about POGS in a long while. Points to you. 

Tactics Ogre is a fantastic game that I really wish was easier for Western audiences to get a hold of. I only have it as a download from the Playstation Store to my PSTV. I believe that PSP is the only platform that it came out for. (PSTV was essentially PSP hardware that plugs into your tv - not marketed over here…

Felt like a raid wipe with Nynaeve coming in to cast Mass Res

It’s the dreds.

It’s about ethics in gaming journalism. 

San Andreas is one of the 5 or so console games that I can go back to every couple of years and play again and again. The game certainly has it’s faults-but the music selection is great, the supporting cast, especially the further you get into the game, is incredible and hilarious. 

Tried to get into FFXIV last week. Apparently you buy the game on one website, create your username on another website, and then you need to go to a third website to buy your game time? Bleh. 

Random comment, but the guy playing Dickie Moltisanti reminds of Richie Aprille every time I see this trailer. 

I can’t help but think the mindset that fans deserve to do whatever they want with protected content out of love and developers should be cool with it is an evolution of the old Napster/P2P mindset.

People create content and have rights to that content. No amount of love for it extinguishes those legal rights. 

Are they actually selling a full remake of the game now, or does this “remake” still end with the escape from Midgar? i.e. maybe the first 10% of the playtime on the original game. 

Not saying this isn’t an accurate description of some gamers, we’re all different in our own way, but personally, I blame my “backlog” on having my Amex saved in Google and Steam and making poorly thought out decisions while stoned.

“And Sony seems to be moving in the wrong direction, having just announced the imminent closing of the PS3, PS Vita, and PSP digital stores”

This really bums me out. I purchased a PSTV a couple years back. Its essentially PS Vita hardware the size of a pack of cards that you can hook into your TV and play with a PS4…
